The setup is on and working well as of a little drive yesterday. The stock lines fit as well with the kit. The high side into the pump just has to be tweaked a small amount to fit and clear alternator.

I will be driving the car some this coming week and hitting the track Friday for final testing.

I will have pics up Monday sometime since I forgot the camera at work.

The kit will come with thick billet brackets as seen in the first pics, high quality hardware and a belt for stock diameter or an ASP underdrive crank pulley. The idler pulley's are both of OEM quality or better. The system basically has 2 manual tensioners since the alternator is adjustable and it has the custom tensioner up top. We do not see any problems with belts squealing or coming of with the design.

There is a lot of time into this custom setup, so as mentioned before it will not be cheap, but worth every dollar IMO.

updated pic with added idler for increased belt wrap ( oem idlers have replaced the ones in the pic)



$435 w/ free shipping

This wouldn't really work in a DD would it? I would be concerned about driving it in the rain with the alternator down there.

Look at the LS1 f-body's they have a low alternator, It will work fine as a Daily Driver setup.

Looks good Larry. Adding the second idler covered my concern on belt wrap

I am starting to lean towards the non-PS version

no....

I just did this along with converting from a TH350 to an FLT Level 4 4L60E and love it. There is just something about a fast car that you can cruise comfortably with.

on another note...we plan for a alternator only at some point as well for all you race car guys

We/machinist has 12 main brackets done with some misc finishing needed. We should have them ready to ship within days of final testing next week.
